I enjoyed the last episode about live streaming, but am curious about the latency of the 3 different Elgato capture devices. It was just briefly mentioned around

, but there some latency - as I'd expect. Is there a difference in latency going from the Cam Link to HD60 S to HD60 Pro? I've read that the HD60 Pro has almost no latency, but was curious about your experience.

 

My use case isn't gaming, but live streaming the church service - and sometimes sending the video feed to a projector. For live streaming, I'd rather not have to mess with audio delay manually to get audio/video to match up.

 

And speaking of audio delay... If the HD60 S has a video delay but also has analog input for audio, does that audio match the same delay? I'd be fine with some delay for live streaming if the audio is automatically going to match up.

 

This is the first time I've seen the Stream Deck. Very cool! And the $150 price-tag isn't terrible for what it does. But I couldn't help but wonder if that could be made DIY. Hak5 has arcade buttons mounted in their table to change camera angles, so I know it's possible. There's also the possibility of using a Raspberry Pi Zero, which can emulate a HID for input and a USB network dongle for programming.

HD60 Pro (pci express card) has less than a few frames of delay. In my experience viewing it through OBS it is only a frame or 2 - close enough where if everything else (camera & mic) are nearly real time you don't have to offset anything. You can actually play a game off the preview window it is that fast.

Ben Reese while working at a company was introduced to something I thought was rocket science. The video switch. I had no idea you could switch video like any other signal. Maybe in your DIY you can check out video switches. Please keep posting this is an interesting subject for which I don't have room on my to-do list but really would like to hear about what is involved in getting this operational.
